Came home empty-handed. Wait, no, I didn't. I got a cookbook on clearance at one of the Targets.

Also, y'all should appreciate this: we had two mailers (one addressed to me, one to Mrs. Chux) about the awesome opportunity of buying lots in nearby "booming" North Shore. (There were no actual pictures of North Shore, but photos of pepper farms, windmills, and a body of water surrounded by palm trees where one can just see the opposite shore, so I'm quite sure it wasn't some other North Shore I've never heard of.) Working backwards from the first year's interest, it would appear 1-acre lots are running about a quarter of a million.

I laughed pretty hard, wondering if I should contact them and tell them a place in North Shore would be really convenient next time I get the hankering to go out and take pictures of crumbling buildings there and in the other nearby Salton Sea towns.

Dang, El Segundo area, huh? That's a nice find, I haven't seen these in person yet.

Yeah - I've been seeing them "in stock" when you check the DCPI online but hadn't seen them on the shelves until this morning, was a pleasant surprise. Had all four in-hand for a bit but had only planned on picking up Luke and R2 and talked myself out of the other two, despite how great the sculpts actually looked in person.

Luke's a great figure. R2 is pretty good though the paint app is a little disappointing. Definitely agree with Pawlus' critique on him but still glad I picked him up regardless.

Never been to the North Shore area of the Salton Sea, sounds utterly charming by your description.

I didn't know it was possible to check DPCI numbers online.

My area either had them and sold through, or hasn't seen them yet. I don't yet feel like driving south to try out those stores yet, maybe I'll give that a shot tomorrow though.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
